If you really want setTimeout functionality, you could try this class I made for my scripts. You have to note though that you can't use "normal" MsgPlus.AddTimer() calls unless you edit the OnEvent_Timer in this class.

Example usage:

js code:

---

function somefunction(message) {
    Debug.Trace("Timer reached, message received: "+message);
}

var myTimer = new Timer(1000, somefunction, "test");
//Available methods:
myTimer.Refresh(); // Refreshes timer (stops and restarts)
myTimer.Cancel(); // Destructor

---

js code:

---

/*
    File: Timer.js
    Desc: Class for timer handling
*/
var Timers = {};
var nTimersCount = 0;

var Timer = function(nInterval, fCallback, oParam) {
    this.Interval = nInterval;
    this.Callback = fCallback;
    this.Index = nTimersCount++;
    if(typeof oParam !== "undefined") this.Param = oParam;
    Timers[this.Index] = this;
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('Timer'+this.Index, this.Interval);
}

Timer.prototype = {
    "Refresh" : function() {
        MsgPlus.AddTimer('Timer'+this.Index, this.Interval);
    },
    "Cancel" : function() {
        MsgPlus.CancelTimer('Timer'+this.Index);
        delete Timers[this.Index];
    }
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
    if(/^Timer(\d+)$/.test(sTimerId)) {
        var nIndex = 1*RegExp.$1;
        if(typeof Timers[nIndex].Param === "undefined") Timers[nIndex].Callback(Timers[nIndex]);
        else Timers[nIndex].Callback(Timers[nIndex], Timers[nIndex].Param);
    }
}
